    As consumer behavior continues to evolve rapidly, with the most notable trend being a surge in global smartphone adoption. On the other hand, Econet Wireless Zimbabwe, continues leveraging all the technology at their fingertips to enable customers to use the technology they use daily in their personal lives by recently introducing yet another massive innovative mobile product – Econet Plus. A robust and scalable mobile application like Econet Plus is undeniably a gateway to unparalleled growth and development. Econet continues to dominate and seek innovative ways of creating and offering real value to its millions of subscribers.

    Recent events prior to the launch of Econet Plus

    The launch of Econet Plus comes at a time when the regional bloc, Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) has, through its ICT ministers, has vigorously been pushing for a reduction of roaming tariffs in the economic block as an incentive for interstate trade and regional economic integration, with our very own Zimbabwe’s ICT Minister Supa Mandiwanzira been a leading proponent, within SADC, of making roaming charges in the region affordable. Finally! Econet becomes the answer to such an initiative through its introduction of the mobile app – Econet Plus.

    ii. This comes as a great relief to Zimbabwean travelers who have been paying higher roaming charges when traveling outside the country, with many travelers often temporarily swapping their local SIM cards for those of their host country networks to save on roaming charges.
